Episode 102: That thermometer don’t work with my iPhone 7, also, AWS kube’ed & DevOps Thought Lordin’
10 augustus 2017 · 56 min
At long last, Amazon joins the CNCF to work on kubernetes and container related projects. While it's not incredibly clear how strong this embrace is, it's pretty high up there. We also discuss if there's any new topics in DevOps and check-in on the anti-trust in tech meme. Lees meer

AWS caves to the kube
Press release: “Amazon Web Services Joins Cloud Native Computing Foundation as Platinum Member.”
Does this mean they’ll do Kubernetes stuff?
“AWS plans to take an active role in the cloud native community, contributing to Kubernetes and other cloud native technologies such as containerd, CNI, and linkerd.”
Adrian is all like: “we doin’ the open sourcery.”
Heptio release: Ark and such.
What’s the deal with Andy Rooney?
By the way, what’s “cloud-native” meaning now-a-days. We got the way Coté uses it, we got CNCF (straight up containers?), and then we got whatever this type of thing is (think it’s the Coté/Pivotal definition).

Calling in hot from New Braunfels Texas, we got a country mile’s worth of topics this week: we have container services from Microsoft, a lengthy discussion of how enterprise software companies organize their global sales regions, the possible emergence of a new private cloud meme, and rumors that BMC is no longer in acquiring CA.

Episode 99: Private cloud is the Reuben sandwich of clouds, or, Shafer’s Theory of (Private) Cloud
14 juli 2017 · 1 uur
Microsoft will ship it’s private cloud stack, Azure Stack, in September. Will this work? Will people buy it? What could you even put in that cloud? You can feel that pull people have towards private cloud, so we’re looking forward to what happens. On a related topic, by our reckoning, kubernetes to small to have already fallen.

Episode 98: “Do I just need some better medication?” or, advertising, antitrust, and talking to strangers
6 juli 2017 · 57 min
Without advertising, there would be no capitalism, and, if you’re not constantly afraid of the DoJ knocking at your door, you’re probably doing it wrong. Those are two whacky theories about advertising and antitrust, at least. With Matt Ray on vacation, Brandon and Coté talk about The Attention Merchants and the recent Google EU antitrust ruling. We also discuss several other books, and how to talk to non-tech people at parties. Surprisingly, no container talk! Lees meer

Episode 97: The novel strategy of making money, and investing to do so - Amazon + Whole Foods
29 juni 2017 · 1 uur 4 min
Looks like we’ll be getting cheaper organic food what with Amazon buying Whole Foods. What exactly is the strategy at play here, though? Other than the obvious thing of doing online groceries, how is Amazon advantaged here such that others (like Wal-mart), can’t simply do this themselves. We go over these questions and how they related to M&A in general. Plus recommendations and some podcast meta talk. Lees meer

Episode 96: An AWS private cloud strategy, kubernetes aplenty, microservices by yaml, & detailed hot-dog creature analysis
2 juni 2017 · 1 uur 7 min
The cat-nip of Mary Meeker's Internet Trends report is out this week so we discuss the highlights which leads to a sudden discussion of what an Amazon private cloud product would look like. Then, with a raft of new container related news we sort out what CoreOS is doing with their Tectonic managed service, what Heptio is (the Mirantis of Kubernetes?), and then a deep dive into the newly announced Istio which seems to be looking to create a yaml-based(!) standard for microservices configuration and policy and, then, the actual code for managing it all. Also, an extensive analysis of a hot-dog display, which is either basting itself or putting on some condiment-hair. Lees meer

Cloud Rules Everything Around Me
As summarized by Derrick (via CNBC:
AWS brought in $3.66 billion in revenue, which was up 42 percent from last year. However, year-over-year growth dropped from last year’s first quarter.
Microsoft’s “Intelligent Cloud” unit, which includes Azure, grew 11 percent, to $6.8 billion. Microsoft doesn’t break out Azure revenue specifically, but said Azure saw a 93 percent increase in revenue over last year.
Google Cloud is buried somewhere in “Other Bets” on Alphabet earnings, a segment that grew 50 percent to $3.1 billion.
What’s the Halo Effect on this? It’s easy to blame the big vendors for shying away from public cloud but it was some scary shit, business-case wise, back in 2008.

This Week in Tech PE: HPE Spins off Software
They got divested
“HPE will be retaining tools that support the company’s cloud and infrastructure businesses but will be spinning off tools for application delivery management, big data, enterprise security, information management, governance and IT operations management.”
From what I know of HPE, this seems to be overlapping. I’d love a list of “stays vs. goes”
Q3 2017, and you thought Dell/EMC was slow
Where does this leave HP? Will they acquire more SW or stay a “systems” company.
It makes you realize how “small” their SW group was.

Episode 71: Unbreakable Docker, or, elephants, er, like other elephants
2 september 2016 · 1 uur 16 min
Eventually, you have to decide how your open source software is going to make money, and your partners probably won’t like it. That’s what the dust-up around Docker is this week, it seems to us. We also talk briefly about VMware’s big conference this week, and rumors of HPE selling off it’s Software group to private equity. Lees meer

Nippers - "Nippers learn about safety at the beach. They learn about dangers such as rocks, and animals (e.g. the blue-ringed octopus), and also about surf conditions, such as rip currents, sandbars, and waves. Older Nippers also learn some basic first aid and may also learn CPR when they reach the age of 13."
Can someone explain this “Docker forking” hoopla?
Coté’s write-up.
Docker Inc. doesn’t want to be a commoditized building block
From a Red Hat person: “The conflict started to escalate earlier this summer, when Docker Inc used its controlling position to push Swarm, it’s own clone of Kubernetes-style container orchestration, into the core Docker project, putting the basic container runtime in a conflict with a notable part of its ecosystem. Docker Inc. then went on to essentially accuse Red Hat of forking Docker - at the Red Hat Summit no less. After that, Docker Inc’s Solomon Hykes came out strongly against the efforts to standardize the container runtime in OCI - an initiative his company co-founded.”Re: th…

RAX goes private for $4.3bn
The usual need to hide from the Wall Street eye
OpenStack dead, again.
"Tough times ahead".
"There was a time when it was hard to read an article about OpenStack without hearing about 'pets vs. cattle,' and OpenStack was designed to herd cattle"
"It has itself become a big, complex pet, which is why Mirantis and others can make a living providing services, software and training."
What could have happened: (1.) "we can beat AWS," or, (2.) "containers, shoulda thought of that."

Twitter's kinda big deal, maybe you've heard of them. Over 1000 services manage Twitter, over 1,000,000 cores.

Heron is a newly open-sourced replacement for Storm. Supporting all of our own code isn't sustainable, need an open source community.
The Ellen Degeneres photo tweet from the 2015 Academy Awards knocked a couple of services over. 25% traffic spike, hit 255k/tweets per second. 2016 Academy Awards had 2x the traffic, no failures.
30,000 node Mesos cluster (probably largest). "We don't like being the biggest of anything, we find the edge cases." 130,000,000 containers launched daily.
Some of their acquisitions were in public cloud, they don't move them in-house. They're actually pushing new services out to AWS where they can. Vine, TellApart, Crashlytics, MoPub, BlueFin, etc. Ad-serving is mostly in AWS.
Users: Time Warner, Twitter (30,000 host deployment), Apple Siri.What exactly is scheduling?

Cost Cutting Perks in Silicon Valley
More from the snack-track files.
Employees at Kabam, the online-gaming startup worth $1 billion, recently felt like there was a decrease in the number of office snack stands. Although the company denies it, some believe the snack stands are now placed more sporadically in order to reduce the employees' frequency of snack consumption by making it a little harder to get to them.

Will Containers Replace Hypervisors, Almost Certainly Yes
TL;DR; is the title :)
Randy Bias, the "pets vs. cattle" godfather, makes a strong case for hypervisors being on the way out.
Once all the legacy apps are re-written to be in containers (cloud native) or decom'ed (you know, in the future), and we don't want to run multiple OSes (so don't need the driver handling that hypervisors give us)...no need for hypervisors. QED.

"Q: How will Google differentiate against AWS and Microsoft? A: Only 5 percent of workloads are in the public cloud. Effectively you're riding another company's innovation curve for free.

As we add more features, we'll be able to share a lot more strengths with applications." - can OSS be used to attack on-premises cloud?
